Going On a Diet

Dear Max,

I’ve decided to go on a writing diet so that I can read in the mornings. Because I do think that writing without reading is unsustainable, plus reading sounds like way more fun. And it might reduce the chances of my making idiotic remarks.

It’ll probably work about as well as all my other diets. But anyway, it’s an experiment. The sound of my own voice is always ringing through my head. Time to let in some other voices.

Does this mean what I think it does? A sabbatical from Life Of Johnston? As a devoted follower, I understand and will respect your “need to read.” Actually I’ve been extremely impressed with your sticktoitiveness throughout the year. Aloha and I await your return!
